What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With
Samsung top loaders are leveled by checking that the pulsator sits centered under a shallow fill of water, while front loaders are leveled by rocking the cabinet and adjusting the feet. Source: Samsung US Support - Washer installation and calibration
On front loaders the pump (debris) filter sits near the bottom front behind an access panel, and a clogged filter keeps the washer from draining and therefore from spinning. Source: Samsung US Support - How to clean your Samsung washer
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Washer odor. Samsung says a sewage smell can mean the drain hose is pushed too far into the drain, while a mildew smell calls for an empty spin to clear standing water before cleaning the washer. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine or laundry smells bad
- Washer not filling. For the 4C/4E/nF codes, Samsung says to confirm the hot and cold hoses go to the right inlets, are not bent, and that the supply valves are fully open. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
Reading a Samsung Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 9C1 / 9C2 | Voltage error; the washer should be on its own circuit with no extension cord. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| dC / dE / dS / dL / FL | Door error: the door is not detected as closed and locked (on some models dC can also flag an unbalanced load). Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| PE | Clutch position error. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
